Synopsis: On Wine Tuesday, divorcées Mary and Jo become concerned about their friend Liz, who has been dating a bizarre and unsettling new man, a dentist named Jackson. When his dental hygienist mysteriously disappears, the two friends grow suspicious, fearing that Liz is dating a serial killer. Trading their wine glasses for spy glasses, they launch a farcical and misguided amateur investigation to try and save Liz. Their meddling becomes even more frantic when they learn that Liz's 19-year-old daughter is planning a camping trip alone with Jackson.
